Employee Appreciation

During an MTNW staff year-end review and planning meeting that took place early last year, a suggestion was made that the company should do more than just breathe a big sigh of relief whenever a new piece of thermal testing equipment was shipped out. Based on that humble suggestion MTNW put into motion a well-received employee appreciation program we call the “shipping lunch”. On the Friday of any week in which a new thermal manikin, guarded hotplate, or flame test device is completed and shipped, MTNW brings in lunch for the production and engineering staff.

There is no shortage of dining choices here in Seattle, and our shipping lunches tend to reflect the diversity of the local cuisine. Greek, Italian, Mexican, Southern BBQ, Indian, Thai, Cuban, Japanese (sushi) and good ‘ol American fare have all taken turns on the menu, but I have to reserve special mention for last week’s shipping lunch, featuring burgers from the Lunch Box Laboratory. These incredible burgers (mine was the bacon-topped “Hothead”) were easily the biggest and tastiest I have ever had. Satisfying enough to induce a food coma – especially when washed down with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup shake – it was an experience that will have to be repeated someday. If, that is, I ever feel hungry again.
